Making steady progress on this unit....Today I finally finished the paint correction process, so the paint is looking and feeling good again. I've also fixed the height adjuster on the driver's seat which was seized (wouldn't go low enough for me to comfortably fit) and re-fixed the right brake light circuit board (FGC garbage). The top was sticking a bit, so I cleaned and treated all the seals, plus located and lubed all the hinge points....working beautifully now.
Put about 200kms on it so far this spring, it feels great, no issues, no weird German stuff, just a nice driving car - fuel economy is nice to have too.
I still have a few little repairs to make; door panels are loose and the air line for the passenger side door lock still needs to be fixed. It also still needs fluids swapped, but I've been holding off until I get the other cars out so I can get it up on the lift and make it easy work.
Otherwise, just a lot of cosmetics left to do; paint the grille, touch up stone chips, re-paint the interior panels, pull the wheels and detail them, paint the rusty looking calipers, replace the lug bolts (I have new ones left over from my previous SLK)...stuff like that.
Really enjoying having it around right now though for quick around town errands.
